Week 3 2012

We are now to week 3, a few more big games this week but should be a fairly quick week if we can get these user games done. Post all summaries here or in your summaries threads. Thanks for the quick work guys.
Games of the Week:

More poor QB play dooms Texas Tech, as they go down 24 - 0 at Ohio State. Red Raider QB Doege throws four picks, including one on each of his final three drives. The Texas Tech D, held the Buckeyes to 17 points, but a couple missed FG's early and an uninspired offense gives Tech their second big defeat in as many weeks.

Another good game from my opponent.

After 8 pics in 2 weeks, I have to wonder what the scouting report will say.

Not much more to say than it was one of those games where all my 90+ rated linebackers and DTS couldnt wrap up a lesser running back...sometimes I feel like the CPU has games where no matter what I do, they are determined to make my evening miserable and deny me any sort of fun...argh!

For the second consecutive year the Arizona State run defense gave Oregon fits, but the Ducks were once again able to comeback from a double-digit deficit to defeat ASU.
The Sun Devils scored the game's first 10 points before the Duck defense righted itself and senior running back LeMichael James came alive.

James finished the game with 146 yards rushing and two scores while quarterback Darron Thomas also had another touchdow. The Duck defense was led by freshman end Darrell Wilson who had a multi-sack day.

Yeah, the pics are my problem; obviously. Every game one gets taken back for a TD on me. I could really shred the D passing in the '09 game, but haven't figured it out this year. It seems, the QB is not as effective leading the receiver. Of the pics I have thrown, half of them I honestly thought were going to be completions. I'll eventually figure that out, but I have noticed game, good old Doege definitely misses a couple open guys every game. I have to give my opponents some credit too, they have been very good at snagging pics and getting pressure.

All that being said, it has been good fun playing in realistic games with other people.

I never lead the WR. That might be one of your problems. It is much better just to fire the ball in (hold down the button hard) than lead the WR. Your QB prolly not having a very high accuracy rating plus the accuracy sliders pretty much negate any chance of the lead being perfect unless you truely have a great passer which i don't think any of us do. I usually dont see accuracy's over 95 since colt mccoy left. Try just throwing bullets in the middle and short game and lobs for the deep stuff. Leading rarely works so i never use it.

Harris I think a big difference is that the Texas Tech players we know (Harrell, Crabtree, Sheffield, Potts) are gone, if you still had even one of them I think I would have been in big trouble.

Thanks for the kind words. You may be right, I may need to switch to the triple-option.

Thanks for the "lead the receiver" tip Hova, I think back, and could definitely see that being an issue for me.

By the way, I found messages from both of you guys on my yahoo account this morning. I almost never log into it, so I didn't see them, but e-mails sent to that account come straight to my phone, and I almost always have it with me.
